Dawn Rochelle has been through cancer, at age thirteen, a bone marrow transplant, at age fourteen, and now a stroke, at age seventeen. Lurlene McDaniel’s To Live Again amazed me with the story inside.
The plot begins. Dawn is now a senior in high school. She has won her fight with leukemia. Just when thing s are starting to look up, the unthinkable happens, a stroke at age seventeen. The stroke leaves Dawn’s left side paralyzed and here unable to talk. Dawn works hard at therapy and begins to relearn standing and talking. Dawn tries to train her other brain cells to make up for the ones she lost. She hopes to be able to graduate with her class, but she has missed almost two grading periods. Her chances of finishing with her class seem slim, but through determination, can she make it and graduate with her class in June?
I recommend this book to people who like Lurlene McDaniel’s other books and the people who have read the other four books in the Dawn Rochelle series. I recommend this book to people who like tear jerkers with some funny parts.
